The best team building activity in Atlanta is the one that matches what you want your team to walk away with: a shared table gets people talking, a puzzle gets them solving, and a guided walk shows them the city they work in.
We host corporate and private groups from 10 to 750 guests out of 121 Luckie St. NW in downtown Atlanta, and we have run these events for teams from Google, Salesforce, UPS, Coca-Cola, and Home Depot. The 30-plus options below, ours and everyone else’s, are organized by the outcome you are after rather than by price.
Before you book, decide four things
- What outcome you want: connection, creativity, problem-solving, learning, or celebration
- Your real group size, since some formats start at 6 and others handle 750
- Whether the activity has to be indoors, which matters from June through September
- How long you have, including travel out of the office and back

| Celebration and large groups | Private dinners, event venues, resorts | 40 to 750 |
How We Chose These
About 40% of our tours are corporate groups, so we have watched most of these formats work and fail with real teams for more than a decade. Every group size, price, and format below was checked against the venue’s own site as of November 2026. We mark which experiences are ours so you can weigh that.
Which Activities Build Connection and Conversation?
Anything with a shared table. Food works because nobody has to be good at it and everyone has something to say. Our Historic Market Food Tour + Biscuit Class runs two hours inside the Sweet Auburn Curb Market at $75 per person for public seats, with tastings from four vendors and a hands-on biscuit class. USA Today has ranked the market among the top 10 food markets in the country.
Our Southern Essentials Cooking Class is 1.5 hours of biscuits, pimento cheese, and sweet tea, and private groups run 6 to 25 with a 20 percent service charge. The Grant Park Food and Cemetery Tour covers eight tastings at three local restaurants plus Historic Oakland Cemetery across 1.2 miles and 2.5 hours, from $95 per person, with public groups capped at 14 and larger groups by inquiry.
Elsewhere, Midtown Bowl has hosted Atlanta companies for decades and takes larger groups with lane and VIP options. The Cook’s Warehouse at Ansley Mall runs private classes in its Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove teaching kitchens. Vino Venue in Dunwoody builds cooking competitions and wine receptions for corporate groups, with reception formats starting around $55 per person.
Which Activities Spark Creativity?
The ones where everybody makes something. The Splatter Studio hosts corporate sessions at its Virginia-Highland and Sandy Springs locations for teams from 8 to 80 or more, running 60 to 90 minutes. Their Splatter Games format turns it into prompt-based competition, the version built for teams rather than couples.
Kidbilly Music has teams write, perform, and record an original song, and no musical ability is required. Founder Billy Kirsch co-wrote the CMA and ACM Song of the Year “Holes in the Floor of Heaven.”
Our Atlanta Art and Mural Tour walks Cabbagetown, Krog Street Tunnel, and the Beltline for 2.5 hours at $45 per person, then hands everyone materials for a guided art session over a drink. Our 1.5-Hour Spice Lab is the shortest creative option we run, ending with two custom blends per person.
What Works for Problem-Solving?
Something with a clear objective and a clock. Our Midtown Food and Mystery Tour turns nine tastings at four restaurants into puzzles teams solve together across 3 hours.
West Midtown’s Interlock has three strong options in one place, useful when you want to split a large group into competing teams: F1 Arcade for racing simulators, Sandbox VR for team-based virtual missions, and Puttshack for tech-enabled mini golf. Scavenger Hunt Atlanta builds custom hunts across the city for corporate groups. For conferences, we run Conference Networking Games designed to get a room of strangers talking.
Which Activities Teach the Team Something About Atlanta?
A guided walk, because the city is the content. Our Martin Luther King Jr. History Tour is $40 per person for 2.5 hours and 1.7 miles through the Old Fourth Ward, and Tripadvisor has named it a Best of the Best experience three years running. Guides use original records to connect Ebenezer Baptist Church, the King Center, and Dr. King’s office at the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. It is popular with employee resource groups and summer associate programs, and private versions take up to 140 guests.
Also worth an afternoon: the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Atlanta History Center, the High Museum of Art, and Fernbank Museum of Natural History all host groups. ATL Cruzers runs 2.5-hour segway tours daily, and Bicycle Tours of Atlanta takes groups of 5 to 50 on themed rides covering Civil Rights history, street art, and sustainability, bikes and helmets included.
What Works for Celebrations and Large Groups?
Formats built for scale. Our 1920s Big Bash hosts 150 to 750 guests inside Atlanta’s historic 1920s market with custom menus, music, and entertainment. Our Prohibition Progressive Dinner is the premium evening at $225 all-inclusive per person, covering nine tastings, three cocktails, four downtown restaurants, a members-only speakeasy, the real Coca-Cola vault, and a rotating rooftop. It is 21 and over with a dress code.
Outside the city, the Porsche Experience Center near the airport runs drive experiences on its 1.6-mile South Track with one-on-one coaching from a Porsche Drive Coach. Foxhall Resort in Douglasville runs guided ATV tours and clay shooting across 1,100 acres, with event venues seating 150 to 300. Serenbe Farms in Chattahoochee Hills books private group tours of its certified organic farm. The Camp at The Works is a one-acre park built for company picnics, with Fox Bros. BBQ and Hippie Hibachi next door. Further out, Sweetwater Creek and Red Top Mountain state parks, Six Flags Over Georgia, and rafting on the Ocoee, Chattooga, or Chattahoochee all take groups.
What About Remote and Hybrid Teams?
A virtual format built for it. Unexpected Virtual Tours, our sister company, runs virtual Atlanta experiences and DEI training for distributed teams, with optional treat boxes shipped to participants. It is the option we point to when half the team is in another time zone.
Pick One and Put It on the Calendar
The activity your team remembers is usually the one they could not have done in any other city. Our private food tours run $80 per person plus an 18 percent service fee and private history tours run $40 per person plus 18 percent gratuity. Tell us your group size and goal and we will send a proposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book a team building event in Atlanta?
For private groups we prefer two weeks’ notice and can sometimes work with 48 hours. Larger formats and October through December dates fill earlier, so book as soon as you have a date.
What is the best team building activity for a large group?
For 150 guests and up, the 1920s Big Bash handles up to 750 in one room. Between 40 and 150, private food tours split across multiple guides work well, as does Splatter Studio’s large group format.
How much does team building cost per person in Atlanta?
Our options run $40 to $225 per person depending on format and length, with a service fee on private rates. Third-party venues price by format, so ask each for a proposal.
Are these activities accessible for people who cannot walk long distances?
Our cooking classes and Spice Lab are indoors with no walking (but standing for most of the class), and the Historic Market tour covers 0.2 miles. Our walking tours run 1 to 2 miles at a pace we adjust to the group, so tell us about limitations when you book.
What is the best team building activity in Atlanta during summer?
Something indoors. Cooking classes, the Spice Lab, the market food tour, Splatter Studio, and the Interlock venues all avoid July and August heat.
